Cha Eun‑woo, a member of the K‑pop group ASTRO and a singer and actor who is 28 years old, is going to start his military service on July 28, 2025.
He will join the Military Band of the Republic of Korea Army, which will allow him to continue presenting his musical talent not only as a singer but also as a military band member during his service.
Fantagio, his agency, requested the fans to understand and accept the privacy of the artist on July 28th. No announcements will be made to the public regarding the location and the start time in order not to create a situation where the public can gather in large numbers.
According to the traditional practice in South Korea, the whole military period is approximately 18 months, so fans are hopeful that by the beginning of 2027, Cha Eun‑woo will be back.
Cha Eun‑woo not only receives a lot of adoration for his singing but also for his fantastic performances in dramas. His enlistment is going to put on hold his solo projects and his work as a group with ASTRO.
The army service of Eun‑woo is an important stage of his career. He will be missed by the fans, who are not only willing but also very supportive of the idea of waiting for Eun‑woo to return in 2027 and still be in their hearts.
